me: idk if i even really have imposter syndrome anymore. everyone feels self doubt sometimes and i’m overall pretty confident in my abilities

also me: *literally does not think i will ever be competent enough to be a completely independent researcher*

This is like my daily thought process.

here’s to every girl working so so hard to reach her goal. i see you. you can do it.

I take walk-ins, please form a line.

I’m constantly torn between “if it’s meant to be, it will be” and “if you want it, go and get it.”

“if it’s meant to be, it will be” - friendships, relationships, people in general coming into your life, dealing with rejection

“if you want it, go get it” - your goals, aspirations, work and work ethic, changing your life (diet, exercise, hobbies, political views, opinions)

i love how in jurassic park the woman has a phd and cargo shorts is out there solving problems and digging her hands in dinosaur poop for science 

but they still had to have a token sexy character so, instead of the usual screaming blonde with a torn shirt and tight shorts, we have him

the chaos “rock star” scientist who got a tiny bit bloody so he had to open his shirt all the way and rest his injured body in this very practical position
